All those forwards gassing the backs.
Hooker was close to breaking mach 1
England for Ireland
Brown; Watson, Joseph, Farrell, Daly; Ford, Youngs; Marler, Hartley, Cole, Launchbury, Lawes, Itoje, Haskell, B Vunipola.
Replacements: George, M Vunipola, Sinckler, Wood, Hughes, Care, Te'o, Nowell.
Close to full strength with Vunipola and Watson back. I really don't see how Ireland will be able to win, even at home with muhh pashun
England have an embarrassment of riches at lock, essentially has TWO world class pairings.Be interesting to see what happens when Robshaw and Kruis are fit, will Itoje move straight back next to Kruis, when Launchbury and Lawes have been in such good form?Will Kruis have to fight for his starting spot with Launch?Will Robshaw miss out at 6?These are good headaches to have.

>benching Paddy Jackson
I don't find Sexton as good.
Scotland
Lately ive been thinking the same thing
youre never gonna win with a guy called tadhg in your team. its not even a real name
Well I was somewhat confident we could maybe snatch a cheeky win but after seeing this team I reckon we will lose.
>its not even a real name
>Billy Twelvetrees
A better team than I was expecting, Payne at fullback will offer a lot more than Kearney and Marmion/McGrath are pretty good half backs. England are favourites but I can definitely see you pulling off an upset.
>no murray
gg ireland no re
meme loop arounds might work on england
I was kind of hoping for payne at 13 ( still a fan of ringrose tho ) with zebo at 15 and maybe conway to the wing.
Excited to see marmion get a good run anyway, inb4 injured 3 minutes in.
>Marmion
can't kick
>L McGrath
can't pass
>no Toner
literally our best lock, that lock pairing will be dominated
>SOB
should have been dropped for POM
wings are still meh
oh and healy should have started
Henshaw running in-to-outs as a decoy/option with Payne running a hard line back inside from depth is probably going to be the way to go. If Sexton is forced to pass way behind the gainline Ireland will struggle, but if he can take it right up to the defence and pass flat Ireland might get a lot of linebreaks
>literally our best lock
are you daft? He made one metre against Wales from 6 carries. He'd have made twice as much ground by just falling over
oh wow a lock that carried poorly in a game where the whole team failed to make metres
that's definitely what locks are meant to do, go on barnstorming runs
The least a lock can do is get over the gainline in tight situations. If you don't at least break the first hit it should be because it took two or three to make that hit.
t. played lock for 8 years
>>Marmion
>can't kick
Good, do you not see what he does for Connacht?, he runs through defences and causes havoc becuse he's a small fast little shit
W'e got too many players already who just kick away ball straight back to the opposition when we should be holding onto it and playing actual Rugby like Wales did last weekend
>Attack is the best form of defense
Munster fans are disgusting with their, "glad Murray is being rested for Toulouse" spiel
Literally worse then Scousers the absolute knackers
Glad otner is being rested for wasps lads. We need him to take down launchberry a notch.
...
He's just copypasted the last thread and recycled a pic tßh. Can't blame him.
I would've added the 6N as I usually do, but I was enjoying my beauty sleep.
He has such tiny girl hands.
Is that why he can't catch the ball?

>rugby is not a niche market anymore
Such a shame Ireland were so dissappointing this 6n, could have been so much hype for the match on saturday if we were as good as we thought we were.
If we lose by more than 12 points I think some serious questions have to be asked around leadership and new blood.
Ireland has literally, in the history of rugby, never been as good as the Irish thought it was.
Happy st patty's day btw. Hope you enjoy being American on this most blessed of days.
>patty's day
Triggered. Patty is short for Patricia, as in Patty and Selma.
Paddy is the short form for lads, from the Irish version of the name, Padraig (pronounced paw-rig).
Happy St. Patty's lads.
Better than being Yanks EVERYday like ye lads : )
Yeah, padraig, not Patrick. His name was saint patrick. So it is saint patty's day. Can't believe I need to explain this to an Irishman. You guys are nowhere near as Irish as the real boyos in Boston.
THIS!!!
I bet they don't even dye a river green.
SAD!
happy Saint that Drove Out the Snakes day
/cric/ rules /rug/ drools
Bought some Garage project beers.
I wouldn't touch that Guiness GARBAGE
The craic is pretty good bar lad but /rug/ is better than an Irish pub 2bh
>Schooling the Irish so hard that they limp away from /rug/ and never come back.
I haven't seen an Irishman get destroyed like that since Bloody Sunday.

Having a nice pint of Kilkenny to celebrate lads.
You forgot the critical best moment in Irish history fullstop
1. Beating NZ in an exhibition match in USA
You both forgot the biggest moment in Irish history...
Unironically started taking a rugby ball to work and spent all of my downtime trying to do that for about a month...
Yep that's easy #1
NZ #2
Lions tour 2013 #3
Got a free hat with my guiness lads. Good craic.
Nice lad. I didn't go to a bottle store this year. Last year I got some socks
I'm 90% sure my mate just fed the chickens lads
Hello friends
How many chickens does he have?
How many chickens is a handful of toilet paper?
Three.
gtfo
He fed 6 chickens from a quick glance in his room and asking if he wanted to go to the bottle store
How do you know how much toilet paper he used?
Here
I walked into my mate's apartment once without knocking and he was jerking it furiously at his flatmate's desktop lmao
I have walked in on my brother twice kek
